If this virus was here back in October, why were there not fatalities or so forth in November?

It is fairly obvious that the virus was not really around in the US until February, otherwise we'd have seen more deaths.
There were no death's because they weren't testing for deaths!

Do over 2,000 people a day die from the flu?
The CDC numbers for flu deaths is 27-65k a year.
The US is already at 37k dead from Covid-19 in just 4 weeks.
Where does that leave your linked analysis?
4 weeks? It's been here since atleast December but even the media is leaning more towards October. It's April now. That's a 5-7 month span.
The death toll started 4 weeks ago.

Your analysis is bunk. You are suggesting that infections were raging in the US before they were in China.
Nonsense.
Deaths started 4 weeks ago, suggesting that the virus has been in the US for about 8 weeks.
I've seen a few completely unsubstantiated claims that millions and millions of Amercians have already had it. No actual evidence for that. If it were true we'd have seen a spike in deaths recorded as something else.
The actual numbersd we have would suggest that Covid is between 10-20 times mre deadly than the flu.

I believe the longer this goes we are closer to extinction.

The problem is that this is the first time we've watched our governments take advantage of it to grab naked power.

It's possible the number of infected are much higher and they were asymptomatic. Large scale testing to determine who may have been infected could begin soon, and if it does, it will tell us more. Right now there are just a lot of unknowns. It's very possible it is more infectious, and less deadly than the seasonal flu.
Doesn;t really make any sense. If a large number of people had it and had no symptoms then why all of a sudden did people start dying and being hospitalised?
No one, or very few, in the US had this virus until a couple of months ago. That makes more sense looking at the numbers.

Sure. All of a sudden in February this disease changed from asymptomatic to deadly.
China, italy, Spain, suddenly it went from nothing to thousands dead starting in February. But you believe it was here for months and months but just hidden in the healthy?
So logical.

I learned to never beleive any person on here.
This virus IS less deadly than the flu.
All this panic is fake.
Just pick the numbers and x50 to see the real numbers.
Hell, for those 750k that are known there are 37 750 000 who are actually sick.
